Re-reading Fellowship of the Rings, and I got to this passage in Lorien: If so, this ties in neatly with discussions I’ve seen about how Tolkien subscribes to a “not even once” view of good and evil – that in many other works it’s acceptable to do a small evil in service of a greater good, but in Lord of the Rings that always fails. The moment he is taken by temptation was when he used the power of the Ring to repel Gollum. Which means that the moment that Frodo succumbs to temptation is not the moment at the volcano – it was already too late by then. Having used it once, after spending so long holding out against it, was that the breach in the dam? He hikes up the mountain so fast he leaves Sam behind – and doesn’t even seem to notice that he’s left him behind.Ĭould he have been drawing on the Ring’s power at this point in the story?Īt this point in the story we’re relying on Sam’s narration, and Sam doesn’t know what’s going on in Frodo’s head, so it’s hard to say for sure. On further further reflection: I’d have to read the section again, but I recall that after throwing Gollum off and laying the geas, Sam observes that Frodo seems suddenly filled with energy again when previously he had been close to dead of fatigue. The years of planning and amounts of paperwork and arrangements for the tomb of Gimli son of Gloin Lord of the Glittering Caves one of the Nine of the Fellowship one of the Heroes of Arda the Elf-friend and sturdy and possessor of the three hairs of Galadriel would be IMMENSEĪnd then Legolas rocks up in Gimli’s final days of life like: ok so I built this boat that’s gay but also bruh those poor dwarves just tryna honor their lord and then his ageless twink bf gets a yacht and they fuck off damn true love fr I’m aroace but I wish a twinky blond elf would build me a boat and smuggle me to valinor i also wish a sturdy handsome strong thicc bearded dwarf prince would call me funny and then tell me I comfort him damn I’m gay fr anyways gigolas legolas x gimli lord of the rings lotr valinor legolas greenleaf gimli son of gloin the fellowship of the ring return of the king queers gay literature jrr tolkien tolkien middle earth incorrect lotr quotes lotr incorrect quotes lotr memes Okay but dwarves put SO much effort into their tombs already, carving perfect stone and inscriptions and making records to bury kin with kin and everything, let alone for Gimli son of Gloin Lord of the Glittering Caves.

In particular, though, I intend to post a combination of quotes from the novels and/or films, and brief observations or notations I find in the margins of my copies of the novels as I re-read them, perhaps with some fresh notes to join them. Obviously, this blog is themed around an appreciation for anything and everything Middle Earth. The young man I am and grow to be each day is very much indebted to the characters and stories of all The Professor’s work. Tolkien’s work shaped me fundamentally from that starry-eyed chapter in my youth, everything from my fantastical adventures and ambitious in my backyard to my perception of masculinity, femininity, love, power and comradery. I read the books for myself between the ages of eight and ten, and have done so some times since. As a small child, my mother read The Lord of the Rings to me, and by the age of six I had seen the films. My name is Jules, I use he/they pronouns, and I am a lifelong fan of Tolkien’s work and world. Who are you? You needn’t think of that now, unless of course, you’d like to. It’s hard to sell oneself in merely a header, title or description, so I figured - for the sake of anyone who wanders into this place - that I would organize a bunch of fundamental information right here!
